Metro enrollment pl Dave Flomberg

Staff Writer Despite predictions for an enrollment boom in Colorado's higher education institutions, the numbers fell drastically at Metro, with nearly 1,000 fewer students in attendance this semester than last.

According to the figures compiled by Institutional Research, there are 925 less people enrolled at Metro this semester, which is a drop of about five percent.

17 ,461 students attended Metro last semester. The preliminary report for this semester puts that figure at 16,536. This is more of a decrease than was seen last year, when the drop between fall and spring was about two percent.

Paul Wilken, director of Institutional Research, said that with the exception of full-time students, all categories are down across the board.

"We're down on part-time students, we're down on transfer students and on students right out of high school," he said.

Metro President Sheila Kaplan said that it was too early for her to determine why this is, as the final figures for this semester have not yet been compiled.

However, assuming these figures are correct, she said that there is an inverse relationship between Metro's enrollment and Denver's economy.

"We're like most commuter campuses in urban areas, in that we work counter-cyclically to the economic cycle - when the economy is good, people tend to take on a couple more hours of work," Kaplan said. "It works in reverse as well - when the economy is sluggish, that's when people start coming back to school."

Anthony Esquibel, associate vicepresident for Community Outreach

agreed with Kaplan's theory for the decline in enrollment.

"There are more job opportunities now than there were in the fall," he said.

However, despite the large drop Kaplan still supports the Colorado Commission on Higher Education prediction of a 30 percent increase in enrollment within the next eight to 10 years.

Thomas Gray, assistant dean of Admissions and Records, is not completely in agreement with Kaplan on this point.

"The drop in enrollment is not what

J

}anuarr 11, 199!i

worries us," said Gray. "It's the downward trend that we ' re seeing that is unnerving. This is what is bringing (the CCHE prediction) into question.

According to the latest CCHE figures, enrollment across the state is currently down one percent."

This is contrary to the recent U.S. Department of Education statistics that put nationwide enrollment at higher education institutions at a 16.6 percent increase over the last 10 years.

Gray pointed out that the enrollment-boom forecast is only for tradition-

ets ally-aged college students, which is a small part of the Metro population.

"We had 130 less applicants as compared to last spring," Gray said, adding that the reason for this may be based on the upward trend of the economy encouraging part-time students to get more fulltime jobs. "That's the reason that we're hanging our hats on for now."

This drop in enrollment occurs despite an aggressive advertising campaign by Metro that included television, radio, and newspapers. Radio ads ran on KTLK and National Public Radio.

Parking employee sues Auraria, 6 administrators Kevin Juhasz

Senior Staff Writer An employee with the parking division of the Auraria Higher Education Center is suing Auraria for falsely accusing him of stealing parking funds and damaging his reputation .

Arthur Kelso filed suit Jan. 11 in Denver District Court. Six people besides AHEC are named as defendants. They are: JoAnn Saker, executive vice president for administration; Dean Wolf, vice president of operations; Rosemarie Del Monte, director of special projects; and Robert Barela, a police technician with Auraria Public Safety. Also named are Richard Alfultis, former director of parking and public safety, and David Rivera, former assistant director of parking and public safety.

The suit accuses the defendants of defamation, false light, invasion of privacy, outrageous conduct, and violation of

Kelso's civil rights.

The suit also says the actions of the defendants "were performed intentionally and/or negligently in order to make (Kelso) a scapegoat for lack of competence at AHEC." Kelso was one of three employees terminated in I anuary 1994. AHEC believed he was involved in $133,634 in missing parking funds.

Kelso appealed his termination to the State Personnel Board. An administrative law judge decided that the termination was groundless and in bad faith and ordered AHEC to reinstate Kelso. He returned to work Jan. 3, almost one year after his termination.

Kelso and his attorney refused to comment on the case.

The suit said statements made by Soker to The Metropolitan, the UCD Advocate, The Denver Post and other media were defamatory and placed Kelso in a false light.

-- -- -- - -- - - - 路 -

The suit claims that these actions have damaged Kelso's reputation and he "has been held in low esteem by members of the community and public."

The suit also accuses AHEC and Del Monte of outrageous conduct. It claims that their accusations of theft and their support of statements to the press "are extreme, outrageous, and go beyond the boundaries of decency acceptable in society."

The suit also accuses the defendants of violating Kelso's civil rights by dropping accusations of theft during his appeal of his termination. This action, the suit claims, denied Kelso his "14th Amendment due process right and the right to confront those who had falsely accused him ... " It also claims that Barela and Rivera violated Kelso' s civil rights by secretly videotaping interviews during the investigation of the incident.

Barela and Rivera were in charge of

-

the AHEC investigation into the missing funds and were supervised by Alfultis.

Saker and Wolf both refused to comment on the case because it is still in litigation.

Del Monte refused to comment beyond saying, "we categorically deny any accusation of wrongdoing."

Barela did not return phone calls.

Rivera and Alfultis were not available for comment.

The suit claims that as a result of actions of the defendants, Kelso suffered mental pain, stress, humiliation, degradation, loss of self esteem, loss of enjoyment of life, and "felt himself an object of disgrace and ridicule."

The suit says Kelso is seeking an unspecified amount of damages and attorney fees, costs and interest. Kelso is also asking the court to specify his rights and to order AHEC to discontinue secret videotaping of interviews.

Conflict Management conflict Becky O'Guin Staff Writer Participants in a one-day conflict management seminar Jan. 12 got a firsthand look at conflict resolution when the instructor was confronted over a comment he made.

Don Rosenbrough of the Boulder County Sheriff's Department was teaching the sem inar on behalf of Auraria Public Safety.

He used himself as an example in a Rosenbrough situation involving choices and consequences. He said when he wakes up in the morning his wife is kicking him in the back because the alarm is going off. He said he can either strike his wife or strike the alarm clock.

"I certainly don't advocate any kind of assault, especially spousal abuse," he said.

Offended by the remark, Elisabeth Brooks, club coordinator for Student Activities, left the seminar and immedi-

ately contacted Metro Student for the comment.

"Even if you ' re joking when you Government Assembly President Megan Reyes. make a reference to beating your wife, I She told Reyes that the remark per- see nothing funny in that," Reyes said. sonally offended her.

"If I were a student at Metro, I Reyes did not see any justification

wouldn' t want either one of them (Reyes and Suazo) representing me," Wessling said.

Other participants were also upset with the interruptions and felt they were inappropriate.

Wessling said before the seminar started, Rosenbrough explained that he usually gives this training to inmates and some of his rhetoric might be offensive.

He assured the class that he would change the format if anybody found it offensive.

Besser organized the seminar after receiving suggestions from Auraria employees who often have to deal with situations involving conflict.

The seminar was designed to train people in mediation, conflict management and voluntary compliance.

Brooks didn't confront Rosenbrough herself because, she said, "it wasn't my problem and it wasn't necessary."

She sent a letter to Besser stating her objections to the seminar and preferred to leave it at that, she said. Besser' s office has closed the matter without filing a report and Vernon Haley, vice president of Student Services, does not intend to pursue the matter further at this time.

Wessling and other participants wrote a letter to Haley asking that a formal apology be made to Rosenbrough.

Dean of discipline Louis A. Landa News Editor On Dec. 1, 1994, the Vice Principal at Denver's Horace Mann Middle School made a move to suspend 97 students.

Ruben Perez says his No. I motive behind his actions was the enforcement of discipline. His efforts attracted national praise and attention. He was also criticized for grandstanding, and accused of racism.

LANDA: Do you think the Denver public has a good understanding of how discipline is handled in Denver Public Schools?

PEREZ: In general, no. They are not even aware of what is going on in the public schools. And I think one of the disservices that we have been doing to the public is not making them aware of wtiat is going on. At the same time, what bothers me most of all is· we have been trying to hide it.and apply a Band-Aid approach to the problem. This ~s in every public school; I'm not just talking about DPS. I've been getting letters and phone calls of support from all over the country, and they are saying that they are having the same problem as we are here in DPS. But everybody keeps saying it's really nothing. We are making a big deal about nothing. That's what most of the administration is saying. What we are trying to get across is that this is a nationwide problem.

LANDA: So do you think teachers come to the classroom equipped to handle the problems associated with discipline?

PEREZ: If you are talking about recent college graduates, first-year teachers, no. The reason I say that, is no matter what you tell them in a college course, that's all just academic. Until you actually get into the classroom and you find out the problems that exist there, then you start asking questions. Maybe what's wrong with teaching is that once you

graduate you don' t get the support from the college. What teachers need is support beyond graduation. The university just can't say 'we've got your money, here's your diploma, have a nice day.' They need to continue to work together, the universities and the public schools, teaching teachers on how to handle discipline problems.

LANDA: So you're saying this should be on an ongoing basis.

PEREZ: Yes. Right now they are asking me to go into every classroom and try to evaluate teachers as to how they handle discipline and help them by giving them new techniques.

The expertise the university has, plus the expertise I have, would be so important for these (new teachers) to learn. It's so important for all of us to get together and discuss how to handle discipline.

LANDA: Do you know of a model in other districts where universities are working with school districts as you have mentioned?

PEREZ: No. That's the problem.

When I went through my student teaching at New Mexico State I saw that people were just left out there in the cold. Student teachers and teachers that have graduated from college have to go back and get more education, strengthening the management skills they (lack).

I think what the universities need to do from the very beginning is spend more time in the public schools to see exactly what these future teachers are going to get into, because it's not an easy thing. The more time that student teachers spend in a classroom in the public schools, the more they are getting into.

LANDA: What type of advice would you give students in a teachers' certification program, or any student here at Metro interested in getting into elementary or secondary education? ,

LANDA: In your opinion, what per- that assumption, then what is going to centage of the students that come to happen is somebody is going to end up suffering. It's going to be the masses, or Horace Mann come there eager to learn?

LANDA: Does it trouble you that local Latino organizations and groups were so quick to label your actions as racist?

PEREZ: These groups don't know me. When they start off by calling me racist and saying I don' t care about Latino students, they just don't know me. They just made assumptions.

LANDA: Have any of them made an effort to get to know you or tried to get more involved in what you are trying to 1 do?

PEREZ: N-0 , because they have already made t~ir decision about me.

There are some who have come to me and said 'hey you guys are just crazy and you don't know him.' There was a Hispanic organization that said that, but not the Latino (Education) Coalition.

LANDA: There have been comments that the plan to expel the students was staged for the media.

PEREZ: What people are saying is that the Denver Classroom Teachers Association staged this and put this idea in me. Well let me tell you , it was my idea. I'm the one who put it together. It was my idea and I put it together with my staff.

Attention!

Students, Faculty and Staff MSCD has an approved "Appropriate Use of Computing And Network Facilities" policy which has been approved by the College's Information Technology Advisory Committee. Please take time to read this policy. Those of you requesting access to the Internet (Information Superhighway) will be required to sign a document certifying that you assume responsibility for adherence to this policy.

APPROPRIATE USE OF MSCD COMPUTING FACILITIES Metropolitan College of Denver's mission statement espouses a "commitment to academic freedom as the key to intellectual inquiry and development of ideas."

For us to successfully realize this mission, it is incumbent upon every user of MSCD's computing resources to use those resources appropriately and responsibly, i.e., to use computing and networking in a way that does not infringe on .any other individual's academic freedom, that does not impede any other individual's intellectual inquiry, and that does not interfere with any other individual's use of computing to develop ideas.

Equally important is the individual's right-to-privacy.

Possible e·x tended Thanksgiving break Jesse Stephenson

Senior StaH Writer During the fall se!'llester, weepy, over-stressed students are almost as abundant in Metro's biology department as petri dishes.

Joan L. M. Foster, an associate professor of biology at Metro, said she sees more frazzled, tearful students before fall finals than during the spring semester.

This might change if a proposal for a Thanksgiving break is approved by Metro President Sheila ·Kaplan and the interim provost.

Kaplan declined comment until she reviews the proposal in writing.

Liz Friot; ~hair of the Academic Policy Committee, announced to faculty senators at the Dec. 7 meeting that members of the comniittee are considering the break because)t will give students and faculty a chan~e to blow off steam and get caught up before fmals~ Additiona-tly~ the break would make the fall semester equal in length to the spring semester; "which is three days shorter. Friot said that\mder Metro's current schedule, profess.ors have to adjust their teaching plans every semester to fit the alternating semester lengths. Friot said that other colleges such as Colorado State University arid Western State already include a. fall break in their academic schedules. : .

The Metropolitan/Nikolas Wilets

CLOSER LOOK: Metro administration is examining the possibility of an extended Thanksgiving break that would leave the biology labs empty. tions to the extended Thanksgiving break ·are generally positive, some professors only 'want the break if it doesn't throw their classes off track.

Foster said that the committee's selectibn of days is crucial, and that she will support the idea only if the entire week of Thanksgiving is scheduled as the break. Any other combination of days off would be disastrous for the biology labs because it would throw the classes that meet Monday, Wednesday and Friday out of synch with classes that meet Tuesday and Thursday. This would mean that

twice the amount of bacterial cultures for as many as 125 students would have to be grown.

Norm Pence, a faculty senator who represents the computer science department, said that he and most of his colleagues welcome the prospect of a week off for Thanksgiving.

Pence said it's an excellent idea because the classes held the day before Thanksgiving are poorly attended.

"Having night classes the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is kind of ridiculous," Pence said.

DEMOSCLEROSIS

Jonathan Rauch, 122 cloth

•

We have met the special interests, and they are us.

Despite evcr·increas· ing levels of activity, government has been crippled by its own success and has lost it~ ability to make things work and solve problems effectively. TI1at's "demosderosis."

Rauch looks beyond the politics and personali· ties of the moment, showing how, year after year, the American public forms more interest groups making more demands on government-until gradually government itseU has been calcified. just changing the faces in Washington is no cure, nor is it sufficient to pass new laws or cut taxes, for these actions generate their own inter· est groups. Rauch offers a bracing tonic for un· clogging the public arteries, turning our conven· tional ideas of liberalism and conservatism on their heads and making Demosclerosis an indis· pcnsiblc guide to how WJshington really worksor doesn't.

Philig,lt Howard, 118 cloth

With the best of intentions, government hands out new legal rights like land grants, usu· ally to victims of history or circumstance, but fails to notice that it then loses its ability to bal· ance everyone's welfare. The land of freedom has become a legal maze of obligation, ritual, and obeisance. One false idea lays at the bottom of these developments: that human judgement should be banned from anything to do with law.

The Death of Common Sense grinds up sa· cred legal cows with vivid stories-some humor· ous, some tragic-showing how they lead to the bureaucracy and laws that frustrate and humili· ate every citizen. Howard then sets us on a course to take back control of our lives.

Done wrongat the Deli

Vegetarians be(a)ware: On Jan. 18, myself and a fellow vegetarian patronized The New York Delicatessen in the Tivoli Student Union, choosing the restaurant due to its extensive vegetarian menu. We ordered the vegetarian chili, or so we assumed.

The manager rang up the item since the cashier couldn't find it. The cashier also called three times for 'vegetarian chili' and served it to us as 'vegetarian chili.' After chowing down on a quarter of the bowl, my dining partner bit into a piece of sausage. So there we both sat, stomachs full of dead animal, looking at each other in disbelief. Immediately we turned to the counter, where two managers were present, and explained the problem. With a nonchalant attitude they dismissed it as trivial. I want all vegetarians to know that an extensive vegetarian menu does not equate awareness.

This restaurant has targeted a large consumer group but does not cater to it. A restaurant that is aware will be aware.

As a result of this incident myself and my dining partn~r became ill. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! Joe Perez Cella Newhart Metro students

Don't count on contributions from Metro's alumni During the week prior to the spring semester, Metro seniors awaiting their May graduation received a letter. The letter came from an administrator who was identified as the Director of Commencement Activities. The purpose of the letter was to inform the seniors that the school had decided to change the date of the commencement ceremony. Instead of being on Sunday, May 14, it would now be Tuesday, May 16.

The letter contained no explanation as to why the date was changed, nor was there any apology. The conclusion of the first paragraph simply stated, "We regret any inconvenience this change of date and time may cause." Inconvenience?

The director of commencement activities obviously has a gift for understatement. That word simply does not cover the cost of long-distance phone calls which have to be made to inform relatives of these changes. Inconvenience does not describe the need to change travel plans that were made months ago. By moving the commencement ceremony from the weekend to a Tuesday, there will now be people who will be unable to attend. This is not inconvenient; it is simply inconsiderate.

Without an explanation, one is simply left with the impression that someone in administration has something better to do that weekend. The original date was certainly not a surprise or a typographical error. The school has been publishing the date in class schedules since the summer semester of 1994.

This action taints the celebration of the students' achievements. Perhaps the inevitable requests for money from the Metro Alumni Association should be returned unopened. If the current graduating class means so little to the school now, then maybe they will be able to overlook the "inconvenience" of not receiving Alumni support in the future.

You are nothing, if not a hound dog The Rev. Mort Farndu • First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine

,

ost of us are too b u s y having fun , making money and getting laid to think much about religion. But being a reverend, not to mention being depressed, broke and celibate, I think about it all the time.

For just a moment, then, I'll ask that you walk past the smorgasbord of worldly pleasures arrayed before you, and embark with me on a spiritual journey. A journey inward, to the place philosophers call the human soul, to that mystical region wherein the holy spirit dwells.

That's right, brothers and sisters, I want you to get in touch - with Elvis.

Can't you hear him crooning in your head, throbbing like a bass that's been playing in the background all along? Can't you see him, sneering

M

and swaggering like he owns the world - are you not blinded by his glorious sequins and gaudy excess? Can't you feel his divine corpulence filling your body until it's bloated beyond recogni· tion and ready to explode with holy rapture?

I think you can.

You can, because deep down, you believe in the resurrection of Elvis.

You've seen the reports in the National Enquirer and Weekly World News how much more proof do you need that Elvis was divine? In your heart, you know Elvis was the King. And you know you must renounce false gods like Wayne Newton and Madonna and most especially Michael Jackson, the Anti-Elvis.

You know that Elvis has a hunk of burning love for whosoever believeth in him.

Don't be cruel - don't reject that

love. I know you may be feeling all shook up, touching his spirit for the first time. As minister for the First Presleyterian Church , I've brought many people to Elvis. I've seen, firsthand, the awesome power of the King and I know how terrifying it can be.

But I ask you to overcome that fear. I ask you to accept E into your heart, and let not his terrible judgment be passed upon you, as it was passed, years ago, on those who would betray him. I ask you to be something more than a hound dog, to finally kill a rabbit and be a friend of his! .

Won't you accept Elvis now, finally? Won't you love him tender, love him true? If you do, he will return that love to sender a thousandfold. And not with any pie-in-the-sky, either, but with your just desserts right here on earth.

Because the King commands us to enjoy the ·smorgasbord of life. He

wants us to indulge ourselves, to overind\,Jlge - he wants us to pig out, in fact. For by so doing, we praise and glorify the name of Elvis, he who hardly skimped at the banquet of life.

E's commandments are often broken, I know. But Elvis is a forgiving god - there is yet time to come unto him.

He is waiting to greet you with a big, sweaty hug at your neighborhood bar, or the nearest fast-food restaurant, or the next party. He has your table reserved even now. You're holding his invitation in your hands at this every moment ...

And you can go back to that smorgasbord any time now.

The Reverend is a Metro student.

He may be sitting next to you now.

Metro student Dave Seiler taps into the sacred and exposes a world of the bizarre and beautiful in his art Story by Jeanie Straub In artist Dave Seiler's Neo-lcon No. 19 - Neo-lcon to the Ineffable - a ghostlike woman in a white debutante dress floats in a poorly taken turn of the century brown-and-white photograph.

The photograph is framed by a lead border and attached inside a small, classically designed box, the interior of which is lined with diamond-tufted upholstery - like the inside of a coffin - made of strips of thin lead.

A doll-sized chair covered with small red feathers stands in front of the photograph of the woman.

Her spirit seems trapped forever in the bizarre room of an eccentric doll house.

Seiler, Metro student and artist, creates small universes. His passion is for the three-dimensional neoicon.

He fashions intricate boxes - because boxes entice people to open them and reveal a mysterious, sacred space, Seiler said.

Inside are finely. crafted, multimedia sets, open to interpretation.

"I steer," Seiler said.

"Every artist does this."

"It shakes you," said Vera Lucero; 30, a senior Dave Seiler industrial design major at Metro who has known Seiler for five years. "It makes you think. He's all for humanity, and then he brings out the dirty part of it."

Phil Lucero, 28, a Metro graduate, said Seiler makes a statement with his art.

"I think his point is to show some kind of injustice, in many cases," he said. "At one of his showings, I heard three or four different people talk about it in three or four different ways. He'll let you create your own meaning."

--

DUPED: The texture of the outside of Metro student Dave Seiler's Duped by My Own Beliefs is a cast of his own skin. Inside is a bird's nest and a gauge from an airplane that shows the pilot is flying straight.

TWO TICKETS TO FUN Seiler's Neo-lcon No. 5 is a series of miniature drawers. In one drawer, 9mm shell casings are set in bees' wax. In other drawers are an old TV tube, a small plastic toy gun, a key, a small plastic lumberjack and two tickets to "Fun" - literally. · Duped By My Own Beliefs is a cast bronze box; the texture of the outside is a cast of his own skin. Inside is a bird's nest and a gauge from an airplane that shows the pilot is flying straight.

Alexander Calder's work the city displayed in downtown Grand Rapids in the late '60s.

But, although he loved art, Seiler didn't see himself as an artist.

"It's like with most kids," Seiler said. "It's kind of suppressed - it's a good thing to do, but it's not a way to make a living. I didn't really tum to art until 1990. I did it in high school, but I didn't pursue it."

Instead Seiler went to culinary arts school and worked in select restaurants for 16 years.

He move~ to Colorado in 1984 to ski, and decided to attend Metro because it was in town.

HIGH LEVEL OF CRAFT UCO art instructor Brian Dreith, Seiler's mentor, said he has seen a purification in Seiler's work since they first met in 1990 in a three-dimensional design class Dreith was teaching.

"Even at that point he had some very exciting visual ideas," Dreith said. '.'And what has happened is the quality of the work and the quality of the ideas have refined much over the years.

"I think it is very developed and thoughtful work.

He's got a very high level of craft."

During a semester in London in spring 1994, Seiler toured Europe and saw religious objects and museum icons.

"I can't even begin to tell you how many religious objects I've looked at," Seiler said. "Something about them is so appealing and so magnetic."

"I'm making fun of a lot of things, but I'm also very impressed by them. I wouldn't copy them if I didn't like them."

TRICK OF THE EYE Seiler also dabbles in sculptural trompe l 'oeil, French for "trick of the eye." In his classically designed icon Quid Pro Quo - Latin for "one thing in return for another" - a bundle of pencils is suspended in the air by invisible means above complex tax documents.

COOL AND FUNKY Seiler was born in 1960 in Grand Rapids, Mich., the son of a professor of education and a social worker.

When he was young, Seiler liked Monet, "because he had great, great colors. And Picasso, because he was cool and funky."

And Seiler was always interested in sculpture. He was impressed by a piece of American sculptor

THE HIGH OF CREATION At Metro, Seiler said he has explored all media and been given the opportunity to play and experiment. ''That's what school's about - testing your ground and pushing yourself as far as you can go, because you have the facilities to do it," Seiler said.

see SEILER page 20

2,000 LITTLE BABIES One of Metro student Dave Seiler's larger conceptual pieces is Salt of the Earth - a giant salt · sheik.er filled with tiny plastic babies: Seiler' s statemept on overpopulation and the environment. "' "The Romans destroyed Carthage, building by building •.brick by brick. And they went back through and physically salted the earth so that nothing could grow," Seiler said. \,, ~·· was thinking about overpopulation of the world, qecause our population is abo~t to expand agi'in. It's like we're salting our own earth. So I thm1ght, 'Why not make a giant salt shaker with a bunch of little babies in it?"'

After many trials to produce a giant salt shaker, includingifa failed attempt to cast one of glass, he we11l to a glassblower and assisted in the shaping of lli6Vgtass; K ' ' "And getting a hold of the little babies was quite task, wen. because there's 2,000 of them in

The accidental antique n a sunny November morning last year, my sister and I set out to find a sturdy kitchen table. We rode our bikes down Broadway to the famed row of antique and used furniture shops often referred to as "antique row." Hours and seemingly hundreds of expensive tables later I discovered an unkempt white table buried under mounds of old magazines and soda crates. The store's owner told me it was probably oak or maple and was made during the 1920s. Layers of flaking paint masked the table's wood identity but I was enamored. Not only was this what I thought to be a neato relic from the era of bathtub gin and flippy haircuts, but it was cheap.

My boyfriend offered to refinish the table and I gleefully said goodbye to the days of scarfing macaroni on my floor ... until he called that night. He hesitated and giggled nervously before informing me that the table was not the little gem I thought it was. A tag he had sanded out from the under the leaded paint was dated 1965. To add insult to injury it was not maple but PARTICLEBOARD. I still fume when I think of the dealer's curt refusal to give me my money back.

In a quest to avenge the tumultuous table deal, I vowed to find a foolproof method for buying antiques.

Ernie Yadon, an antique glass merchant in The Antique Exchange building at 1500 S. Broadway, said the best way to avoid getting ripped off when buying antiques is to go to auctions frequented by dealers to get an idea of price ranges. He also advises buyers to comparison shop and talk to several dealers who specialize in the item you're looking to buy.

Burt Yaste, who has refinished oak furniture to sell on antique row for eight years, advises unseasoned antique buyers to check dealer reputations and ask plenty of questions before making a purchase.

Most importantly, if you wind up with less than what you paid for, take heart. According to Rick VanDerhoff, an antique dealer who has worked in antiques since his junior high school days, most pieces gain status as classics eventually.

"The Formica tables of the late 1950s are getting to be a hot item," VanDerhoff said.

I consider my little table to be an eventual antique.

How the West was shot Isaac Mion Staff Writer

"

.

Metro students got a taste of the best of the West Jan. 20 when The Metro Center for Visual Arts held the opening reception for a collection of 13 different artist's views of the Midwest's placid countryside caught by the camera' s eye.

According to Georges SlowilC, a French/Polish member of the Society for Alumni Relations, at least 200 students showed up to check out the art.

Art and photography fans munched on catered goodies such as buffalo wings, and drank keg beer while they perused the works of local photographers like Jack Balas, Patricia Barry/Levy and Eric Paddock.

From Paddock's stunning color images of the s·un setting on a ramshackle barn in Monument, a small town north of Colorado Springs, to the numerous blackand-whites of rural settings, to a dust storm in the Utah badlands, the view given of our countzyside is both tempestuous and tranquil.

Those admiring the variety of art at the exhibit may have wondered about the man who was running around dressed in full American .Indian garb. It turns out he is Jack Cardinal or Mat'o, a Canadian Cree Indian. The Center for the Visual Arts brought him in to add to the authenticity of the eXhibit.

Michael BeDan Sports Editor

Roadrunner swim teams gearing up for league championships Trevor Grimm The Metropolitan While the weather in Colorado over the past month has, at times, actually been appropriate for outdoor swimming, the Metro swim teams have continued their strong performances inside the state's pools.

The strongest performances continue to come from the women, who picked up their most recent team victory of the season when they finished first in the Interrnountain Swim League Relays Saturday, finishing wJth 132 points, four ahead of second place University of Denver.

"It was more kind of a fun meet," coach Rob Nasser said. "We went out and had fun , but performed real well."

The women's victory follows 115-75 victory over the University of Colorado on

Jan. 14 and a second place finish at the Shon Pentathalon in Estes Park on Jan. 7.

On the men's side, the undermanned squad continues to hold their own in competitions. At the Intermountain Swim League Relays, Metro finished third with I04 points, two points behind second place Colorado School of Mines, while the men defeated Colorado 119-62 on Jan. 14 and Colorado College 419-46 on Jan. 7.

Overall, the women hold a 5-1 record against head to head competition, while the men hold a 4-2 record in head to head competition.

At the Intermountain Swim League Relays, the women placed first in six of 11 events, while finishing no lower than third in any individual event in picking up the team victory.

The women finished first in the 300

fly, the I-meter diving competition, the 500 free, the 400-meter medley, the 200-meter free, and the 400-meter free.

The men snatched first in three of 11 events, including the 200-meter medley, the 200-meter free, and the 400-meter free.

Once again, Metro finished no lower than third in any event which they competed in, as the men did not enter anyone in the I meter diving competition.

With less than a month left in the season, the Roadrunners' primary goal is to rest for the league championships next month. "(We will) just rest for conference," swimmer Scott Watson said. "We start tapering (practicing less yardage) this week."

After hosting Buena Vista College Wednesday, the swim teams return to action

Saturday when they host Colorado School of Mines. After Saturday's competition, Metro hosts DU before hosting the Intermountain Swim League Diving Championships on Feb. 11. The league swimming championships will be held Feb. 18 and 19 at Arapahoe High School.

"We might pull a lot of surprises out of the conference meets," Nasser said. "At least we'll make it interesting. In the very worst case, we'll at least play a spoiler role."

"The women look real strong. They have a very, very good chance of winning."

Swimmer Tori Ainlay mentioned another aspect to the conference competition.

"A lot of focus has to be done. There's about five or six of us that could go to nationals (March 8- 11 in Canton, Ohio)."

Three-for-three ain't bad Womens basketball team on the rebound after preseason - bounce back to lead conjerence at 3-0 Michael BeDan Sports Editor The women's basketball team snapped out of its preseason funk just in time to start a midseason winning streak that was extended to three straight Saturday night with a convincing 86-69 win at Air Force.

The Roadrunners won their third straight Colorado Athletic Conference game to improve to 5-12, (3-0 CAC) and are starting to live up to preseason expectations.

Vanessa .Edwards exploded for 30 points on a 10-:17 shooting performance, and added 11 .rebounds to her impressive box score.

Sara EcklJoff had her usual complete performance, li points, 10 assists, four rebounds and four steals.

In fact, all five starters scored in double digits, a feat that Eckhoff attributes to her sharpshooting teamates.

"Our shooters have just been shooting really well," Eckhoff said. "Chalae (Collard, 17 pts.), Tammi (Baumgartner, 10 pts.), and Mary (Henry, 11 pts.), have been shooting well and it opens up the inside for Vanessa."

The theme throughout the best games we've played here in the last Roadrunner squad has been unselfishness five years," Smith said. "We wore them as everyone continues to make the extra down, and towards the end things really pass as was the case Saturday when Metro clicked and we dominated them." had 23 team assists to Air Force's 13.

new press and that is where it really started it for us."

Beating Air Force gave Metro even more confidence as it was their second CAC win on the road this season.

The Roadrunners lost at Air Force last season, and after the rough start to this season the win did a lot for team pride, shooting guard Tammi Baumgartner said.

"We expected to play well, but, we came out and just dominated, " Baumgartner said. "It boosted our morale quite a bit and sparked us."

Metro has nine games remaining, all of which are CAC games, and Coach Smith said everyone will be up to play the ~oadrunners.

"I don't think anyone is overlooking us," Smith said. "I think people hoped we weren't any good, hoped we would fall apart and self-destruct, but we haven't."

Smith said Tuesday that his team has set its sights on winning the CAC and making a return appearance to the NCAA Division II Tournament.

While that may be a bit premature, the way the Roadrunners are playing now, anything seems possible.

The University of Denver will be Metro's primary competition for the CAC title.

Metro hosted DU last night. Results from that game and full coverage of this weekend's game will appear next week.

The Roadrunn ers travel to Regis Saturday and return home Thursday to face the University of Southern Colorado.

Games are at 3 p.m. Saturday and 5 p.m.

Briefs and blasts Vanessa Edwards had a huge game against Air Force on Saturday when the women's basketball team beat the Falcons 86-69.

Edwards scored 30 points and grabbed 11 boards to lead the Roadrunners in both categories.

For her efforts, Edwards became the second lady Roadrunner to take home Colorado Athletic Conference player of the week honors.

Nice job, Vanessa.

Men's basketball players Bobby Banks and Antione Lewis each lead the Roadrunners and the CAC in a respective statistical category.

Banks leads the CAC in steals at 2.7 per game and Lewis shoots .464 from downtown to lead the conference.

For the women, Vanessa Edwards continues to lead the conference in scoring with a 17.2 ppg average, and in field goal percentage at .628.

Sara Eckhoff leads the CAC in assists with 6.6 per game, and Mary Henry tops the conference in rebounding, grabbing 9.5 per .., game.

For the second straight week, I would like to apologize to both swim teams for the lack of coverage in the two issues after the holiday break. The swimming reporter, Trevor "why is everybody so" Grimm, was out of town, and I am powerful dumb when it comes to If you are a student, staff, faculty or water spons (and predictions, some would say).

Oh no, more predictions I realize the credibility of my prognostication skills suffered a tremendous blow when a certain sports column faifed to pick a single playoff game accurately two weeks ago, but here we go: The men's basketball team is nowhere near as bad as its 3-14 record. With the stride~ that the team has made this season, I see them winning at least five or six of the remaining f'!ight games.

On the women's side, the ladies will win the CAC, will win at least seven of the last nine games and should repeat as champions of the CAC Tournament. Thus, a second staight NCAA Tournament bid.

Finally, the swimmers will beat someone by at least 200-300 points.

Oh yeah, they already did that.
